Gene Schrader-Nutter, who currently lives in Albuquerque, NM, will be the speaker for the Saturday evening session of the 40th annual Women Today Retreat at Lake Superior State University, which begins on Friday, April 19 and ends at noon on Sunday, April 21.

Schrader-Nutter has been the staff speaker since the retreat’s beginning and is a favorite at the event for many of the women who have attended. Her message will be “What Can I Give God?” from the letter to the Ephesians.

Schrader-Nutter married her life-long friend Dr. Neill Nutter on October 28, 2012 in Cedarville. He is a retired professor of geology from Ferris State University. He will accompany her at the retreat.

Schrader-Nutter received training and ordination in The Salvation Army early in her life, was a pastor’s wife for 55 years, a public school teacher and counselor for 25 years, and assistant camp manager of Intervarsity’s Cedar Campus for 13 years. In retirement, she worked as a support missionary on six continents.

Rhea Briscoe from Waukesha, Wis. is the main speaker for the weekend. She was the speaker in 2007 and the group is thrilled to have her back to celebrate its 40th anniversary.

Sarah Schieber, from Midland, is the musician for the weekend.

The Lighthouse Christian Bookstore from Marquette will have a large display of Christian books, Bibles, music and gift items at the Cisler Center. The book store is available to the public as well as retreat attendees and will be open Friday evening and all day Saturday.

Women interested in attending this retreat are urged to register before the April 9 deadline. Attendance plans include meetings only, or meetings with meals.
